I built a doom fortress. It took a few days. Then I started new game, built a little island cottage and sailed over to the mainland to make a watchtower taller than the mountains. And there were beacons so I could find my way when I was sailing at night. And a jetty at each end, with a giant chest full of boats, because the boats keep breaking.

Did you do that on alpha mode? I'm not sure how much of that I can do on the free version.

Right, right. You go into your inventory and put a block of wood into the foursquare box, and it turns into a pile of planks. Then you stick four planks together and it makes a crafting table, which you can put down in a place (you can pick it up again by smashing it). That gives you a ninesquare box, which you use to make all those other things like boats and hats and a mining pick. To make iron bars you need a smelter, which is made by putting stone blocks into every square but the central one. Then you drop the fuel (wood, coal or a bucket of lava) in the bottom box of the smelter and your iron (or gold, or sand) into the top, and it makes other thing!

Well, it can still be fun! There was a small group of people (me included) who worked on a map together and it became a big pile of all kinds of art and dungeons. A lot of pixel art and in-jokes mostly, but still.

I just found out that single player is a lot less fun, especially since I can't save my work unless I pay, anyway.

Nah, it can still be pretty fun. I built a building that went to the very top of the map and filled it with books. Then I built a giant statue of myself that can be seen from all parts of the map, especially the extra tall building.

Minecraft is an interesting and funny game. i am so impress by its artificial structure and game design. the features and functions are the best of this game. moreover the animation and strategy of the game is fantastic. this is the pertest game which create great entertainment and enjoyable atmosphere for the players.
